Relocating to Denmark
Samskip emphasises personal service for customers transporting personal effects. However, there are many things to consider.
1. Quantity: How much volume are you transporting? Here you can calculate the cubic measure of your personal effects. Note: if the quantity is 16 cubic meters or more, it is cheaper to lease a container.
2. Offer: In order to get a formal quotation for the transport, please fill out the quote request.
Please fill in all required fields along with shipment´s volume.
3. Documents required:
- Booking and contents list (packinglist) forms must be filled out while the personal effects are being packed. It is important to mark all boxes with the name, address and phone number of the receiver. It is advisable to examine the contents list before beginning to pack, and use it as a guide while labeling. Note: the list is in English or in the language of the destination country. Booking and contents lists shall be submitted to Samskip in Reykjavík before departure.
4. Booking transport: All transport must be booked at Samskip´s customer service, tel. +354 458 8000.
